Prepared answers to typical questions asked?

Prepared examples and evidence of how you skills and experience match the selection criteria?

Prepared two or three questions to ask the interviewer? Not just, “What is the pay?” Perhaps, “I see from your report and accounts that your income is shifting from unrestricted funds to restricted funds: what effects is that having on HQ costs?” or ??
